failing checkpoint

I am troubleshooting a failing checkpoint. I have two strings. You see from the break in the run time, and the debugger, that the strings are not evaluating to equal. They look equal to me. Ihave



- checked the ASC value of the hyphens.

- VarType on both - they are both strings.



I cannot understand why they are not evaluating to equal.



I confess that it may be a friday brain dead issue. So be gentle! :)
